Key machines are divided by the type of keys cut and classified as All-in-One, Edge, Laser or Specialty. NOTE: Not all key machines can cut all types of listed keys out of the box. Additional clamps for an additional cost might be necessary in some cases.
Manufacturers categorize their key machines differently and use different terms to describe their machines and a machine’s features. We have tried to standardize where possible, but always consult the appropriate manufacturer or your favorite distributor if you have specific questions, particularly with regard to the types of keys cut and the terms of a machine’s warranty.
